There has fallen a splendid tear
From the passion-flower at the gate.
She is coming, my dove, my dear;
She is coming, my life, my fate;
The red rose cries, “She is near, she is near;”
And the white rose weeps, “She is late;”
The larkspur listens, “I hear; I hear;”
And the lily whispers, “I wait.”
Tennyson—Maud. Pt. XXII. St. 10.

Inspiration- Washington- Saskia M Photography

Its been a while since I blogged. The holidays are always so crazy, I think I have finally just recovered from all the busyness. I thought I would start off with a new type of blog post- Inspiration. Photography is how I express myself, but my photography is inspired by music, poetry, people, and more. So, here’s the first one.

I am inspired by… my home. I did not grow up in Washington State, but I have lived here for the last 6 years. I love living here. I love being surrounded by beauty everywhere I go. I love that I feel like I live in forest, yet have the city so close by. Here are just a few photos from my recent trips around Western Washington. Hope you enjoy.

“As we advanced, the country seemed gradually to improve in beauty. The cleared spots were more numerous and of larger extent; and in the remote lofty mountains covered with snow, reflected greater lustre on the fertile productions of the less elevated country.” -George Vancouver, A Voyage of Discovery, 1792.
